Chapter 2879
After drinking another glass of wine, Zayne finally added, “Honestly, I’ve already asked several other men about this, and… it seems that all of them are in the same boat as we are. Basically, though our wives may have wanted our full attention at the start, once the kids came into the picture… Well, we’ll practically be nothing to them if this goes on. Makes you wonder whether the marriage was for us or for the kids…”
“…You’re exaggerating.”
“Right? Just as Zivon said, they’re probably being extra lenient since they know who we’re hanging around with…”
Upon hearing that, Zayne replied, “You don’t know that? Regardless, since things have come to this, let’s make a bet to see whether they still care or not!”
Before the others could ask what he meant, he called in a group of beauties and handed them some glasses… and once that was done, he took a video of them together before posting it online!
“Now, we wait,” said Zayne with a chuckle, much to the dismay of all the other men. After all, no matter how tolerant their partners were, they were bound to feel mad after seeing that video!
Just as Zivon was wondering how to explain himself, his phone suddenly rang… and knowing full well that Xavia still cared about him, he cleared his throat before picking up and saying, “Look, it’s not what you think-”
“Um… It’s Nathan, Young Master Burton… I just called to ask about-”
Before the awkward man could complete his sentence, the irked Zivon was already clenching his fists as he growled, “Did you seriously call me this late at night to talk about work…?!”
Following that, he ended the call, prompting everyone else to glance at each other before bursting into laughter.
Thoroughly embarrassed by all this, Zivon got to his feet before saying, “…I quit. I’m heading home.”
“Hey, hey, don’t be a spoiled sport!” replied the dissatisfied Zayne.
Naturally, Zivon was in no mood to continue playing around, so he simply left the room… and once that man was gone, Ian was prompted to get to his feet and say, “Really, though, he’s right… It’s a hurtful game, and we should all just head home while we still can.”
By the time Zivon got back to the villa, it was already one in the morning… and though he initially thought that Xavia had dozed off, he was left speechless when he saw the woman eating cherries in bed while watching a movie! To make matters worse, she looked surprised to see him as she asked, “Back so soon?”
Unable to hold his emotions back, Zivon squinted before replying, “…Do you seriously consider one in the morning to be early…?!”
“…W-wait… What? Goodness! I was so absorbed in the movie that I didn’t even notice! Hurry to bed, Honey! We still need to get up early to send the kids to school!”
Frowning as he watched her hurry out of bed to prepare some snacks for the kids, he eventually sighed before unbuttoning his shirt and sitting on the bed… and after a while, he was unable to stop himself from saying, “…Why haven’t you asked what I’ve been up to?”
